Brett Favre Biographer Walks Back His Entire Book

In light of new revelations about Brett Favre’s multi million dollar welfare fraud scandal, Jeff Pearlman is regretting his largely glowing bio of the former QB. I wrote a biography of the man that was largely glowing. Football heroics, overcoming obstacles, practical joker, etc. Yes, it included his grossness, addictions, treatment of women. But it was fairly positive,” Pearlman wrote on Twitter. “And, looking at it now, if I’m being brutally honest—I’d advise people not to read it. He’s a bad guy. He doesn’t deserve the icon treatment. He doesn’t deserve acclaim. Image rehabilitation. Warm stories of grid glory. His treatment of [Jennifer Sterger] was … inexcusable.” He doesn’t want you to buy the book, or even read it for free, and concludes Favre should shuffle off into the abyss, shamed by greed and selfishness.

How come no one is calling Favre a welfare cheat?
